Dan, your post was a little too grapevinian. I don't understand what you are getting at.
Also in this book, very touching account of Juanita Brooks, how she was ostracized for publishing the book about Mountain Meadows. The church decided to baptize Lee into the church (by proxy) acknowledging he had been scapegoated. Brooks decided to put this into (subsequent?) book, and was told by Apostle not to, that if she did so the baptism and ordinances by proxy might be revoked that she could be ex-ed. She made a statement to him, to the effect "what is bound on earth is bound in heaven" and went ahead with her book. Well, the apostle did push for her excom., but Pres. DOM did not support it. The account where Juanita Brooks learns of this....very touching.
